    Got My R!!!!!!!

    Well Here is my 1985 r, picked her up on Saturday morning, it is in awesome condition and everything is there. The only mods appear to be the cool head, FMF gold series pipe and K&N filter. This thing rocks. Gonna go for a ride this weekend.

    theonlyjosh, I can remeber going into a Honda dealership on US19 and drooling over the R's. I had to have one and the rents said no way, no where to ride. Well now I have one and they are going to bury me with the chevy, the harley and the honda.
    I have more pics I need to scan in, good action shots of the dunes and less of my ugly mug.

    Nice story and nice 250r - thats awesome.

    Now you'll get the fever and you will have two more atcs within another year. You'll see.....

    I also threw out all my dirtwheels from 84-85 season as well.

    How much did that 250r cost? Just wondering - its in really nice shape.
